How to create Torrent on remote machine?

[theCrank]

I have a Ubuntu-box that's running the lates Transmission (1.71). I have some data that i want to share on that box. I have access via ssh.

How to create a Torrent? I tried it using transmissioncli:

Code: Select all

transmissioncli -a http://tracker.mine/announce -n /path/to/data -g /var/lib/debian-transmission/info filename.torrent

that won't work. Transmission prints the following output:

Code: Select all

Transmission 1.71 (8646) - http://www.transmissionbt.com/
[12:09:37.040] RPC Server: Adding address to whitelist: 127.0.0.1
[12:09:37.040] RPC Server: Serving RPC and Web requests on port 9091
[12:09:37.041] Transmission 1.71 (8646) started

[12:09:37.375] Port Forwarding (NAT-PMP): sendpublicaddressrequest succeeded (2)

The Webui can't create torrents itself, right? Any ideas?

Same here with transmission 1.72 on a WDWorldBook. TransmissionCli seems to start the transmission server itself and does not create any torrent. It would be nice if someone (the developer?) comments on this or post a working solution.

Same discussion here, but with no working solution yet.

UPDATE: Solution found.
